3 - Peaks Foundation

The Peaks Foundation organizes mountain treks for female climbers in India, Rwanda, Nepal, Peru, Morocco and more, to raise the living standards of women in those countries – and, by extension, the rest of society. Pay your own way (or raise funds) for the trek costs, and, a la a walkathon, raise an additional amount (varying by destination) toward empowerment initiatives in education and health where you’re climbing. If you’re not a trekker, sponsor a friend, or donate directly to the foundation. www.peaksfoundation.org
